Chapter 638: Division of Labor
Explicit is explicit, since the imperial historians handed over the conversation to him Chen Letian again, he was not polite, and said: "I have decided to interrogate the third-level criminals by me personally. That is, the officials who received the most complaints. They were all sued by three or more people. It's a more serious circumstance. "Chen Letian's idea is that I will interrogate these people one by one, and I will be moved by emotion and reason, and strive to let them take the initiative to truthfully confess the facts of the crime, and strive not to let go of a bad person and not wronged a good person, as for the other officials whose circumstances are not too serious, and some are even likely to be wronged, they will be handed over to you for interrogation.
Of course, the imperial historians agreed with Chen Letian's arrangement, saying that the adults were very good at this method, and with the adults' proficient criminal laws and the ability to speak well, it would definitely be no longer a problem for them to explain.
Chen Letian thought to himself, are you praising me or scolding me? I think it's like scolding me for being very good at talking, as the saying goes, clever words make you look good... On the surface, I am still modest, don't praise anymore, I said, what I need most as a young man now is spur, and I ask you to pay attention to it.
Everyone ignored him, and talked about all kinds of problems about the interrogation of these officials.
Zhang Yushi said: "Lord Chen, what is the purpose of our interrogation? Is it to make them confess or what? Do we want to arrest and convict them or do we just make them vigilant? Is it to make an example of chickens and monkeys or to knock on mountains and shock tigers?
Chen Letian told them that the current purpose has not yet been determined, but we can do this and find out the situation first before making plans. Zhang Yushi and the other imperial historians immediately understood what Chen Letian meant, and they all thought in their hearts how they were negligent when they were ignoring the key points that were not too difficult to think of. Lately, I've been getting so confused that I've made a lot of mistakes when thinking about problems. Could it be that they were obscured by Lord Chen's light? No, they all said that if they are close to Zhu Zhechi, they should be with Lord Chen, they will also become smarter.
After the meeting, it's time to decide what to do next.
In Shudi, since the official document of the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen was sent down to the following counties, the people gradually knew about this article of the Prime Minister's Yamen.
In fact, this is not Chen Letian's intentional push.
This is really not the result of the operation of Chen Letian's team, in fact, Chen Letian knows very well that there is no need for them to add fuel to the fire in public opinion anymore. Facts are the best commentary. The discussion among the people this time is even greater than before. If it is said that such a big whirlwind blew in the whole Shu land before, the villagers obviously felt that the imperial court was really coming this time, of course, it was for the sake of the unhappy face of the people, and the people were not happy The court was not happy, so the court sent people down to investigate. If you King Shu don't do something good, the court will come to help you.
But this is just a situation, and the people are used to seeing the thunder and rain of anti-corruption things. So at that time, they were not sure whether they could get a fair verdict for the harm they had suffered from corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Or maybe it's just anticlimactic this time. After all, they are the people of Shu, and they have seen many times that Shu has rectified corruption.
And now, more than 1,000 officials have been summoned to the Prime Minister's Imperial Palace. When the people who had filed the complaint saw that the accused officials were on the road to Chengdu, it only took one night to go from surprise to joy in their hearts.
People really didn't believe it at first, for example, there was a place where the officials should have left. The people are angry with each other, and they don't dare to say who I sued, but everyone can tell each other whether the person I sued has been arrested. As a result, everyone told each other that they found out that the defendants had actually gone. Not a single person was found. 53 Chinese Net
"Could it be that the Prime Minister Yamen really wants to arrest them and kill them?" Citizen A said that he was suing the county magistrate, and then he found out that the county magistrate had also gone to Chengdu, of course he did not dare to say who he was accusing, and he would not talk nonsense until the matter completely proved his safety. He only rejoiced in his heart, even the county magistrate went, who else could escape?
"It's true that the person who should be killed is going to kill the head, but I don't think most people are afraid that the head is enough. Hey, I heard that the county magistrates have all gone to the prime minister's yamen, and the government affairs have been temporarily handed over to the county lords with full powers. This person is quite bold, and the county magistrates will sue, but in fact, I want to sue, but I am too cowardly, I don't dare, I really admire that brother. Did you do it? You kid is bold, and you've always been one of the best in the village. B said.
C said: "Fart, you say I'm bold, I admit it, it's just that I haven't suffered a loss from the county order, so there's no reason to sue him, otherwise I really want to sue." ”
A scratched his head and said: "It doesn't matter who sues, anyway, the current situation is a very good situation for us, isn't it fair and just that we ordinary people want, no matter how big an official you are, if you do bad things, you will be punished if you mess with our people's lives!"
Everyone said in unison that yes, that's the truth, there are grievances and revenge, there is Your Majesty and the court to support us, and none of us are afraid...
In addition to this optimistic view, there is also a pessimistic view.
A few people are wondering how long this gust of wind will blow, and what will we do when the wind is gone? Will we go back to the same as before? Some people have raised this question, and this is the smarter people, who can see much farther. They can think of a lot of things in advance. So it's normal for them to have questions.
But more folks don't think much long-term, they only look at what they see. If what we see in front of us makes us happy, we think it's a good thing, and if what we see in front of us makes us unhappy, then we don't think it's a good thing. As for what's behind it?
If all the people could think so long-term, then the starting point and destination of the decree would not have been so difficult and tortuous. Even, there is no need for the people to be like this, as long as the officials who are officials, that is, the Xiumin mentioned by the sage, can have this kind of vision and level, then there will be no big problem in the rule of officials.
If all officials can understand that starting from me, everyone has the responsibility to be honest and honest for the country and the people, which is an act of sowing great blessings for their children and grandchildren, and if they are corrupt and do bad things, they are digging graves for future generations, then will they still do this corrupt thing?
The reason why corruption does not care about the danger of harm to the people and the country is that they all have the idea that I enjoy my own happiness and my own happiness, and whether the future generations are good or not has nothing to do with me, it is all up to them, so these people don't think so much.
So the reason why Chen Letian has to make such a big deal out of the originally small thing is because of this. Only by making things bigger, will the imperial court face it with a serious attitude, or only in this way will the imperial court have enough reasons to come forward.
